After weeks of speculation, the Vikings have given Blair Walsh his walking papers. The Vikings have released the veteran kicker, and are likely replacing him with Kai Forbath, as Tom Pelissero of USA Today Sports tweets.
Walsh’s struggles have been well-documented and they reach back to last season’s unfortunate mishap in the playoffs. This year, Walsh missed more “easy” field goals and the team decided that they cannot wait any longer for him to get over the yips. Walsh leaves Minnesota with a 75% field goal percentage including one miss inside of 39 yards and two misses inside of 49 yards. Walsh has also missed four extra points from the league’s new extended range. His latest XP miss came during this past weekend’s loss to the Redskins.
Last week, special-teams coordinator Mike Priefer expressed optimism that the team’s kicker tryouts would light a fire under Walsh. He did improve in practice, but the on-field results were still shaky. Now, Forbath will try to do better as he joins his third NFL team.
Y’all know what they say up yonder in Minnesota. Ya drive that clown round the town, then wear a frown cause ya gonna do down. I reckon that’s the saying. It probably ain’t perfect but it’s darn accurate and very close.
Who is this guy ? Walsh got the yips and hasn’t been the same since he missed that field goal in January. He’s young enough and will get another chance somewhere else, but probably to little to late for the Vikings.
Whose is you? Y’all a spring chick or a wise owl?
The plural is “y’alls”… get it right
It had to happen.
Y’all is plural JD. It is a slang for you all. The singular is you. Go Cowboys
